The White House has pushed back against Republicans efforts to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
In a memo released on Thursday, White House Oversight Spokesperson Ian Sams stated that the push to impeach Mayorkas is a “stunt” and shows blatant disregard for the constitution.
Sams also claimed that Mayorkas is actively working to find solutions to a problem he says congressional Republicans have spent years refusing to solve.
His comments came while the House Homeland Security was holding its second and final hearing on impeaching the secretary.
Representative Mark Green (R-Tenn.), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, spoke at the meeting. He highlighted how Secretary Mayorkas refuses to enforce the law.
“As we learned in last week’s hearing, as many as 85% of illegal aliens are currently being released on Secretary Mayorkas’s watch,” he said. “The secretary himself admitted this during a trip to Eagle Pass just this week.”
The committee plans to vote on an impeachment resolution on January 31st.

What are the arguments put forth by Republicans regarding Mayorkas’s refusal to enforce immigration laws and how does it impact the safety and security of the American people
The White House has responded to efforts by Republicans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In a statement released on Thursday, White House Oversight Spokesperson Ian Sams dismissed the impeachment attempt as a “stunt” and accused Republicans of disregarding the constitution.
Sams further stated that the push to impeach Mayorkas is unconstitutional and lacks historical precedent. He warned that this action sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the integrity of the constitution. The White House is firmly against this move and believes it is a blatant disregard for the principles and foundations of the American democratic system.
Sams also claimed that Mayorkas is actively working to find solutions to the immigration problem, which he believes congressional Republicans have long ignored. The Homeland Security Secretary is committed to addressing this issue and finding effective and humane solutions.
The House Homeland Security Committee held its second and final hearing on the impeachment process. Representative Mark Green, the Chairman of the Committee, highlighted Mayorkas’s alleged refusal to enforce the law. Green pointed out that up to 85% of illegal immigrants are currently being released under Mayorkas’s watch, including admissions from the Secretary himself during a recent trip to Eagle Pass, Texas.
Republicans argue that Mayorkas’s refusal to enforce immigration laws jeopardizes the safety and security of the American people. They believe that no American can be truly safe in a country where the Secretary of Homeland Security neglects his duty to enforce the law and secure the nation.
This clash between the White House and congressional Republicans highlights the deep divide on immigration policy and the approach to border security. Both parties have differing views on how to handle the influx of immigrants and address the broader immigration issue. The impeachment attempt against Mayorkas reflects the frustration and disagreement within Congress over this matter.
As the impeachment process continues, it remains to be seen how it will unfold and what impact it will have on Mayorkas’s position. The debate surrounding immigration and border security will undoubtedly persist as policymakers search for a comprehensive and effective solution to this complex issue.
